Dejester:
My name is Matt "DeJester" Rucinski. I am the captain and manager of Lzuruha Gaming.LoL. My role is AD Carry for the team. I am a 22 year old Sophomore at Iowa State University majoring in Management Information Systems and a minor in Computer Science. Currently interning at IBM remotely from the Rochester, MN site. My computer gaming career started when I was about 12 years old with NeverWinter Knights which was not competitive at all. My dad discovered an online game called Runescape and that was the beginning of the end for my computer gaming career. After Runescape I was known as one of the top duelists of World 2 which was the only major PvP world. Then I moved onto a game called Age Of Empires II: Age of Kings where I topped out at 8th in the world. Then I moved on to Counter Strike 1.6 where I competed in cevo-invite, cal-invite, and MLG events on a regular basis. After CS 1.6 I transferred to World of Warcraft where I played on the 2nd best RMP team in the world including all realms behind Reckful's RMP team, we also competed in MLG events and among the top 3k teams across all realms. In the current stage of my gaming career comes the League, the League of Legends. I started out playing with friends non-competitive just like the past games I have listed, but after I knew I developed a good set of skills I knew I was ready for top-of-the top of this game.
Hi my name is Dylan "At0mic" Newton and I currently play support for team Lzuruha. I'm 20 years old and I live in Monterey, California. I've been gaming all of my life, but I didn't start playing competitively until about 14 or 15. I started playing Counter-Strike 1.6 back when the community was huge and the game was in its prime. I competed in a lot of online tournaments and known leagues like ESL, Cevo and CAL. I played CS 1.6 for a long time before it started to die out, but never accomplished anything major. After that I moved on to a variety of games like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and Team Fortress 2, searching for the competitive environment that I had experienced in CS. However, none of them were the type of game I was quite looking for in terms of competitive play.
I finally stumbled upon League of Legends when my friend introduced it to me a little after beta had ended. I was instantly hooked and knew that LoL had the potential to be huge in the e-sports scene. I played a lot before season 1, but decided to take a break during the beginning of the season because I had trouble finding a team as serious as I was. I returned toward the end of season 1 set out to find a team that had the determination and time to become the best. I climbed up the solo queue ladder in season 2 and got to over 2k rating.

I am Chris "Telandra" Eveler. I live in Northern Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C.. I'm 22 years old and currently finishing my last semester for my associates in Information Systems Technology. Outside of classes, I spend most of my time gaming or with my girlfriend.
I started playing League of Legends back in August '09 during the beta. During the beta and after the game launched, I was among the top in rating, constantly playing with and against top players such as Andy(ReginaId), Dan Dinh, Salce, and so on. After about 6-7 months I quit for a number of months, coming back late into season 1. The result of this was a lack of competitive play in ranked until the beginning of season 2. Once season 2 started, I claimed my rightful spot among the highest elo players. Not long after Season Two began, I hit top 100 in the solo queue ladder.

Hi, my name is Dong-Bin "Slushy" Park and I play AP carry for team Lzuruha. I am currently 19 years old and a freshman in University of Texas studying biology. I have been into gaming ever since I learned how to use a computer, and even now I spend most of my free-time on gaming. However, I never experienced competitive gaming, which makes the experience with Lzuruha my first for competitive gaming. It's been a new and enjoyable experience till now and I look forward to experiencing even more competitive play.
Hi my name is Michael "Ted" Waitz and i play the jungle role for team Lzuruha. I am currently 18 years and will be turning 19 this upcoming Friday ^^. I currently attend Nicholls State University majoring in Business. I have been gaming all my life since i was a young kid. The first game i ever played was a console game that i actually taught myself how to play chess at the age of 7. I found myself to be a pretty big gamer, but never thought i was that good to go competitive due to lack of confidence in myself. That is where Dejester came in. When Dejester tried to recruit me my first thoughts were "this kids gotta be trolling me" but in the past couple of weeks i found out that my lifelong dream was starting to unravel. I've always dreamed of being on a team and going places, but i always said that i wouldn't ever be good enough. Dejester told me differently. He showed me how good of a player i can be and how fun it actually is to play as a team rather than beat my head in with random players.
